A strong tempo is assured with Hydrogen Power and Shay's Way leading the charge. HYDROGEN POWER (2) was quickly back to form over 1600m at Swan Hill, beaten a nose. Led them up after working over from a wide gate. Maps well today, and Yendall continues his association. Has strong prospects. THE DAILY PLANET (5) has been busting to win and did a good job from the back beaten just 1.3L in stronger at Geelong. Meech sticks and will give him every chance from the handy gate. IL CIELO (1) is in top form and hasn't missed the frame in his past four starts. Last time out, he scored over 1535m at Geelong. A contender with the benefit of a 4kg claim. KARASMATIC (3) showed more like his best beaten 3L at Pakenham over 1400m. In a top metro barn, Coffey is a key jockey engagement. He's won over this trip and should be right in it. FRIDAY AT FIVE (4) resumes with John Allen in the saddle and rates a chance if presented more forward this time around. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Hydrogen Power.
